Is it true that morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy?

It just might be. Many studies have found fewer miscarriages among women who experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. One study even suggested that the more severe and long-lasting symptoms you have, the lower your chances of having a miscarriage, especially in women 30 and older.

If you don't have morning sickness when you're pregnant that doesn't mean there's a problem. Many women get through pregnancy with no queasiness whatsoever and have perfectly normal, healthy babies, too.
